  It's kinda complicated and I don't quite know completely myself. But to start I prefer companies that: - Don't see tech as a cost center or at least dont mind investing in it. i.e. they arent using years old enterprise software or at least look at modernizing long term. Working on newer/ bleeding edge tech would be cool though. - Work on interesting problems and arent just writing copy / paste CRUD apps or maintaining legacy apps. - Invest in their employees and encourage them to keep on top of their skillset, etc. - Is relatively stable, not an early stage startup. This is just off the top of my head, I might edit if I think of anything else in the meantime.

    Good list to start your score card. Here's an idea -- you'll find you THIS company by going to meet-ups, conferences, & trade shows. And it might sound cheesy, but actually meeting live human beings in these settings fosters connection and cool conversations. Try to be strategic about which events you attend. Often we're comfortable in our little bubbles. I attended a ridiculously overpriced conference in Vegas years ago. It's still paying dividends. Get out there!
